Because I still believe that ordinary days can become extraordinary. That Mondays can be just as meaningful as Saturday or Sunday. And that everyday we can change our lives and others.

Every Monday Matters- help the Hungry

Facts:
- the 2nd largest expense for families is food.
-35.1 million Americans have limited access to enough food dur to lack of money or other resources.
-30% of families are foreced to choose between buying food and paying for medical care and medicine.
-96 billion pounds of food are wasted each year.

This is a problem. Today choose to be part of the solution.

What to do:
-Locate organizations near you that support the hungry. Find out what those organizations need and help provide it.
-Donate your time and volunteer at any food pantry, a local soup kitchen, and a homeless shelter.
-Go through your pantry and gather canned and dried food to donate.
